Can You Spell Joy???

Yeah, I know it has been awhile since I've posted. I've been so busy - it's crazy. I hope you enjoy this photo of my grandkids. These are single shots that I assembled into one photo. We had a lot of fun doing the shoot.

The Collection

I wish I had taken more photos of the cars.

More B & W

I'm not sure how much I like this page. It is kind of busy. I also replaced the white-grayish sky with a blue one.

What do you think?

Still having fun!

Elaine & Ritha Get Some Done

On Saturday, Elaine and I spent some time working with her photos. She needed some more scrapbooking material.

We decided to be a little different. This picture of Kiera is posterized - kind of like a comic strip. It is the entire 12x12 page.

Elaine is being bold! We had a lovely time and got a lot accomplished.

Bill & Wendy

This is my first go at it! We can change a lot. If you don't like the colors, font type or whatever.

I started working with purples because your invitations were shades of purple. Would you like to see more than just shades of purple in the book?

If you copy these photos to your computer, please know that they are not print quality. The files are too large to post print quality on my blog.

What do you think? I'll incorporate your suggestions.

Fun Stuff!

I Love This Little Girl

I took these in our back yard while Belle was playing with her Grandpa. She adores him. She is 21 months old now. She is growing so fast!
















I think I like this one in black and white.

The Challenge

Okay ladies, that makes 17. It is very doubtful that I will complete anymore before Tuesday. I put up a good fight though:) I almost feel like I cheated because my pages are so similar and you guys did these works of art. Such awesome pages and each of them unique.

We have to do this again sometime. Like after the CAFR and our weekend retreat. I'm so looking forward to it! Not to mention that all of us deserve it and how fortunate we are that God has blessed us with our interests and our retreats.

God is good.

And Grandpa Makes 11 Pages Done:)

My Birthday Isn't Over Yet!

It's My Birthday & I'll Scrap If I Want To!

E & F

I'm thinking about making the swirlies on each page a slightly darker color than the background. Hhhmmmm. . . . what do you think?

B and D - Still thinking about C

Let the Challenge Begin - Finally

First - the cover page.

I know! It's about time I started on the challenge. I've started several pages but have only finished these. I'm doing an ABC album for our precious Isabelle.

You guys are killing me and inspiring me at the same time:)

Followed by the alphabet!

Little Kiara

Kiara was not in the mood for pictures. It took a lot of coaxing to get her to participate and her attention span was very short. All par for the age. I was very pleased to see that some of the photos came out. In some of them she looks so serene.

Balcazar Girl

This is Madeline Balcazar. I was able to take photos on Saturday. Of the three children present, she was the only one in the mood. They grow up too fast!

Balcazar Boy

This is Cody Balcazar. When I spoke to him about a nickname. He told me it is just Cody. He said it in such a matter of fact voice. It was pretty cute.

Isabelle - Eight Months Old

Isabelle - Seven Months Old

You can really notice her hair lightening up. What a funny girl! She wants to play the piano like her mother.

Isabelle - Six Months Old

Isabelle - Happy & Sad

Isabelle - Five Months Old

Isabelle - Four Months Old

This is such a fun age!

Isabelle is such a joy.

Isabelle - Three Months Old

Isabelle's personality really started to show at three months.
